Letter to Premier league
Comments (24)
I have sent the following letter to the Premier league and the referees association:
I was angered to read Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce falsely accusing Everton player Tim Cahill of ?getting away with murder? ahead of their Premier League meeting. Is it too much to expect a professional referee to ignore comments such as this and referee a game based only on events as they happen and without prejudice and pre-conceived ideas? Unfortunately we have at least two examples which prove that Mr Wiley doesn?t have a mind of his own.
The first one I noticed was when Everton had a corner and Mr Wiley seemed to be warning Cahill about something when he was waiting, unmarked for the ball to come in. The second was in the second half when an extremely hefty challenge from behind by Samba on Cahill resulted in a Blackburn free kick.
The TV showed that Allardyce found this highly amusing and if you look at the clip I am referring to you would know that he and those around him were laughing that the mind games had worked.
I find this behaviour from certain managers disappointing to say the least but when our referees fall for these tactics, it makes me despair, especially when there is a so called ?respect? campaign. Fans want referees to be someone that they can respect but Alan Wiley's behaviour means that goal is even further away.

Dear greedy, stuffy shower of shite,
The way you have whored this game out and pandered to money since the Premier League's inception sickens me. You are a bunch of know nothing cunts masquerading as a governing body while bleeding the sport of as much money as you can you gang of impotent twats.
Your laws and officials are squeezing the life out of the game and in more than one case have never watched or played a game of football in thier life. You have encouraged diving, theatrics & cheating from the continent and pandered to their way of life. You are all scum, nothing more than scum.
The sooner you all shrivel up & die the better, I hope the game implodes and gets back to grass roots and more simpler times when you didn't need to have a foreign tycoon and a £600 million debt to be able to challenge.
Fuck you, eat shit and in case I forgot.... fuck you.
I have done it before.
Expect a reply back that says "every referee?s performance is monitored and discussed with him to see if improvements can be made blah blah blah".
Never mind the thump in the back what about the 2 potential penalties and wasn't it Wiley who disallowed a perfectly good goal at Blackburn last year and then gave us an incorrect offside disallowed goal.
Over the seasons we have had our fair share of poor decisions, by the men in black, I just hope that the man in the middle on Sunday lets the game flow, and just get on with it.
NO press headlines for all the wrong reasons.
AJ was never the same player after that.
On another note I see how Lawrensen has us not winning on Sunday again.
Typical shite!!
He can take care of himself.
a). Regardless of whether he should say that or not the ref should still professionally ref the game as though Allardyce had said nothing. Well, so much for that, eh?
b). Allardyce?s reaction to Tim getting injured was outrageous! All the more so because the commentators thought it all funny too.
It?s very easy to be paranoid being an Everton supporter but with pricks like that ref and Allardyce around I am fucking paranoid!!
Just a quick note too....how on earth could that foul on Cahill be awarded against him? It just staggers the mind sometimes at some of the decisions.
At least with the way things are going we are going to make it easy for the refs when we trot out our one remaining fit player against a team of 11.
COYB!! (What?s left!)
Dignity is all well and good, Davey, but there are times when you have to roll up your sleeves, get down in the gutter and start trading shit for shit.
After Wenger and now Allardyce?s despicable yet very successful referee snow job, who is the next Everton player to be targeted?
Moyes's piss-poor response would encourage other managers to try it on.
When another manager comes out with this stuff, it's up to Moyes to shoot it down and draw attention to what they are trying to do so we put our own brand of pressure on the ref.
My thoughts are that any tackle that bad that results in any player missing several games, then the player who gets sent off for the crime should serve as long as the player is out of action. Also the 3 matches that the player should miss are the next matches that take place against the side who he gets sent off against.
Don’t worry too much about it; everyone including the refs are aware of the pathetic tactics of Fat Sam, he is a shite manager and he puts out shite teams. He has a fuckin cheek to be honest as Kevin Davies was and still is a dirty bastard at Bolton.
My only concern to be honest is the attention Cahill may get from other Refs after the Blackburn game; Cahill is a very clever player and one who uses his whole body to gain the advantage over taller, heavier players.
Like an earlier comment, Blackburn will go down and Sam will drift off into the sunset; the fat tosser!
That leaves about 1.5 billion who are interested in what goes on at Everton Football club.
Now, if we could only get a quid off each one of them!
His refereeing on Tuesday was diabolical. We would have been Joe fucking Wiley than Alan Wiley.
